The Watermark Partner Community Grants Program

Xylem Watermark has committed to provide grants to nonprofit organizations that are working with our partners and customers to respond in the face of COVID-19. The Stakeholder Partner Community Grants Program allows for our global network of Xylem stakeholders to apply for funding for a COVID-19 specific community initiative that they are working to implement with a nonprofit partner.

Grant Criteria

The nonprofit and proposed programming must be responding to a community need related to the COVID-19 pandemic and/or subsequent lock-downs.

The nonprofit organization must be 501c3 or equivalent that is registered with Benevity (Xylem’s grants portal tool). Use the Benevity Search Portal to determine if your nonprofit partner meets this criteria.

Discuss with the nonprofit if they are currently financially stable and are capable of handling their existing workload in the community in addition to the programming that the grant will require. Ensure that they have the resources to roll-out the new programming that the grant will fund.

The organization must be able to measure and report the impact of their programming, and will be asked to support the applicant in completing a follow-up survey.

Programming funded by the grant must be carried out within 3 months unless specified as long-term recovery.

Prioritization will be given to grants which impact densely populated locations which are currently heavily impacted by COVID-19, or high-risk, low-resource locations which require advanced preparedness

Prioritization will be given to grants which are related to the following focus areas:
